In one morning switch over from 38-34 pants, doubled my pullup max (2), and dropped below 200 lbs for the first time in a while.
Nice ones CattyB and Glockin Grok! (And everyone else too, they're just the most recent!)
There are two wolves fighting within a man's heart, one is Love, the other is Hate. The one that wins is the one you feed.
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. - Jack Layton

Woot woot I can do pullups with a 45lb plate strapped to my waist![]()
I am officially sitting here in jeans (buttoned, zipped!) that I ordered back in June and were way too small at the time, like, not even close. I was supposed to return them, but just never got around to it.

Our office held a type of "Biggest Loser" contest starting in July. I put my $5.00 into the pot 2 weeks after starting Paleo/Primal (and having already lost about 15 lbs). It cost you a dollar if your weight had gone up from the previous week.
Today was the announcement of the winner --- ME (by a huge margin over the 1st runner-up)! I'd lost 8.14% of my 'starting' body weight and walked away with $57.00!
Started 7/5/11 at 274 lbs
Now 214 -- that's 60 lbs!
Goal 160 lbs -- last time there was in junior high!

Congrats CattyB! Nothing beats getting results, especially when there is a cash incentive!

My blood pressure has always been really good (129 over 75). Last week at the doctor? 109 over 62!

I succeeded in avoiding the muffin in the fridge until it went stale! In a moment of weakness, I took it out and tried to nibble on it, but even the frosting was hard and it barely even squished in the middle (yes I consider cutting it open to save anything good left inside). It went into the trash with nary a sigh.
+2 primal points for me for resisting the lure of sugar addiction.
